A talk by Chris Preble

Chris Preble will talk about the current debate in the United States surrounding government spending, writ large, and military spending in particular. If, as some have suggested, the fiscal crisis will ultimately result in a smaller U.S. military, what would that mean for global security, given that the United States has played the role of global policeman for several decades? Will the United States retrench militarily? Who/what will replace U.S. power?
